Breaking news: Last year, the feds spent $2.7 billion – roughly $18,000 per unaccompanied child at the border. For context, the average cost of education in Texas K-12 schools was $9,800 per student.
Mr. Andrzejewski, Sorry to be simple minded, but I'd love to know your best guess is of the U.S. government's total annual expenditures and taxes income. What do taxes contribute to the government's total revenue, and what contributes the rest?
Sounds a lot like the homelessness grift in large CA cities. The "non-profits" arrive to rake in the $ but no incentive to fix it lest lose their $. Horrifying for the kids in any case.
Those illegal immigrant kids were sent here by their parents and guardians as tools to get here and once here, those same parents/guardians use the kid's resident status as a way to get the whole family up to the U.S. It's mostly coming for economic reasons, not persecution. We need a new president in 2024 or out country will be overrun by illegals.
We need to not accept these children but turn them around and immediately send them back to their parents. That’s the only way to stop this. It’s such a shame what this country is doing to these children.
Horrifying. It’s another example of how this country and adults are failing children. Please keep investigating this very important topic. We must protect ALL children. They’re being victimized and exploited.

Exactly. I live in California. Only probably this is worse.
Effing SICK. Our priorities are FUBAR.
I really wonder if those religiously named sponsor/settlement organizations are really child-labor fronts.
Perfect way to do child trafficking.
In effect, they are participating in child trafficking, whether they realize it or not. But if they don't know, it's because they don't want to know.

Those kids would be best protected by a real border fence and the fact the kids will be caught and sent back, not allowed to stay.
